10.5: Make Time Machine work with AirPort and AFP disks
Authored by: wileyc on Nov 04, '07 10:24:19AM

The way to restore using the Time Machine Browser is simple yet not obvious.

1. Browse to the sparseimage file on the AFP volume you used to backup
2. Open it with DiskImageMounter.app which should be the default. This will mount the sparseimage and the mounted disk will appear on your desktop name something like "Backup of MyComputer".
3. Right click on TimeMachine Doc Icon and Choose "Browse Other Time Machine Disks"

The Time Machine Browser will open and you can restore away

By the way. I'm using this on a ReadyNAS NV+ RAID and it is working great so far. I tested restore and this also works. I will still keep an alternate backup though, since as warned by others, there may be issues we are not aware of.
